“The biopic is an attempt to thank PM Modi for the work he has done for the country,” said Subhash Malik, producer-director of the film.

The minister said: “Subhash Malik ji has been in the film industry for 27 years and is the one who this year started a Ramlila in Ayodhya, featuring film stars. He had been planning a biopic on PM Modi for few years.”

The film features Captain (retd) Raj Mathur, Raza Murad, Surendra Pal (of ‘Dronacharya’ fame in tele serial Mahabharat), Vindu Dara Singh, Amita Nangia and others.

“The film also focuses on the Kashmir issue and how well it was addressed.” said Raza Murad.
